T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN
STUDENT NEWS
Maudie Marshall is now an outing student in Salem.
Mary lyall is employed in Portland on the outing
system.
Three of the beauty culturists who took the state ex
amination are Delphine Z. Swann, Evelyn Spanish and
Mrs. Margaret Marple (nee Drew.)
Six of the McNary hall lads entertained at the Che-
mawa Grange hall on the evening of April 11. Dan
Motanic sang “O’er the Billowy Sea,” Rudy Maysee
gave a reading, James Large interpreted cowboy songs
and the boy’s quartet offered several numbers.
Winona hall girls were instructed to practice sliding
down the fire-escape Friday morning and what do you
think stopped them? The chute had become rusted
during its vacation and refused to have anyone glide
down its surface. Miss Semanski says she will have it
cleaned at once because everyone really should know
how to “slide down the chute.”
Racquets, tennis balls, nets, and most of all, the
tennis courts are very much in demand during these
beautiful, hot days. Even the “Deane” has condes
cended to go swimming in Winona hall court.
Several cases of poison oak and poison ivy have
been reported at the school hospital. While not a
serious matter, this spring ailment is quite irritating
and inconvenient and is consequently disliked by no
small number. We are pleased to state that Mrs.
Hankins and her staff are prepared to cure all cases
coming to their attention.
VISITOR
Dr. W. Carson Ryan Jr., Director of Education from
the Office of Indian Affairs at Washington, D. C., ar
rived this morning shortly before we went to press.
Dr. Ryan has been an anticipated visitor and Chemawa
welcomes him. He is on a tour of Indian agencies in
the United States.

P age 3
the seniors their college entrance test. We are pleased
with the results and expect some of our graduates to

DOINGS AT THE PRACTICE HOUSE
The practice house presents a cheering appearance
due to the work of the related subjects classes who
have put some of their household management work
into practice.
The group of girls in the house at present complete
their work on April 28. One of the girls, Hazel Thom
as, has been placed in a position in Portland.
Hazel Scott and Clara Charles, two of our former
girls, are working in Portland. Maude Marshall and
Mary lyall are two of our efficient girls who have also
been recently placed.
Mr. Kunkel gave the girls a demonstration in candy
making recently. In spite of such unscientific measur
ing, such as throwing in a little of this and that, the
product was excellent.
CHEMAWA WINS INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET
On April 21, the dusky athletes of Chemawa walked
away with all the gold drinking cups the Pacific In
vitational Meet held at Forest Grove, had to offer.
Forest Grove being the birthplace of Chemawa, be
fore moving to its present site, had the Indians in
their old stamping grounds. Before the meet all
took their bows and arrows and each went hunting.
They brought back some “buffalo and rabbit meat.”
Their squaws were not there to cook for them so they
cooked the meat themselves. Coach “Chief Warpath
Sanders” tasted the rabbit meat and told them not to
eat anything else. He mumbled a few pep words to the
bucks and the rabbit started working on them. While
they were in the mood the interpreter told them that
the race had started. Each took a bite of the ‘ ‘rabbit’s
legs”.
Cups were awarded for highest individual score,
relay and high score of the meet. Chemawa brought
home the three. The high scoring honors went to
Joseph Arlee with 12 points, winning first in the broad
jump and 100 yd. dash. The relay members being
Matt Adams, Sam Scott, Joe Arlee, and Leo Hunter
won a thrilling race. Only one state mark was shat
tered which was in the shotput won by Enzler of
Woodland, the distance being 50 feet 3 inches.
The following is the result of the meet:
